Default Is there a way to turn off SS temporarily?

When I've got Winamp open it's annoying to have the screensaver come up, and the signal from my PC remote does nothing to stop it so short of changing the time (like I do now, from 10 minutes to 1000 when I don't want it to come on) is there a way to disable/enable the screensaver quickly?

Thanks D, but what I meant was a way to disable it and enable it in one click/press of a button. I still want it to come up automatically after 10 minutes. Is there a way to make a keyboard shortcut or something that disable it and re-enable it on command?

Ok, ignore that last post.... make a shortcut on your desktop as described in that first link i gave you then...

To create a keyboard shortcut: create a shortcut on the desktop as described above. Right-click the shortcut on your desktop. On the Shortcut tab, find Shortcut Key. The word “None” will be in the box. Position the cursor after the word “None” and press Ctrl+Alt+S (or another letter). That will create the keyboard shortcut.

To start the screen saver: depress the three keys simultaneously. The screen saver will start immediately and you don’t have to worry about the mouse moving when you initiate the screen saver.
